Auricularia rosea

Auricularia rosea is a wood ear described by Burt in 1921, with records from the south-eastern United States, the Caribbean, Central America, Venezuela and Brazil. It grows on dead hardwood and has not been re-studied in modern revisions, so its identity rests on old herbarium determinations.
